SBF Had Political Ambitions, Said Ellison

In a federal courtroom in downtown Manhattan, Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and ex-girlfriend of Sam Bankman-Fried, testified that Bankman-Fried had aspirations of becoming President of the United States.

Much discussion has revolved around Sam Bankman-Fried’s alleged unlawful contributions and offerings to various entities, including political organizations. There is a prevailing belief that these financial contributions constituted customer deposits, which the 31-year-old entrepreneur purportedly diverted for personal gain

Ellison: SBF New About Alameda Risks

During her testimony yesterday, Ellison came out clean stating that Sam Bankman-Fried forced her to commit crimes. She further added that SBF very much knew about the risks at Alameda and still decided to use billions of dollars in customer funds towards risky investments.

“I thought that Alameda’s financial position was risky, and if the market went down we would lose a lot of money,” Ellison testified. “I was concerned about conveying that information to lenders and worrying about Alameda’s financial health and recalling their loans.”

It is clear that troubles for Sam Bankman-Fried continue to mount further with things not going in his favor clearly.
